SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 244,892, dated July 26, 1881 Application*filedA October 8, 1880. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that L'HENRY D. HELLERMAN, acitizen otthe United States,residingin Frankford, Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, haveinvented a new and useful Improvement in Spinning- Frames, of which the following is a specication.

My invention relates to improvements in spinning-frames, in which two guard-wires suitably mounted are placed in the Iear of the bobbins and operate in connection with the yarn; and the object of my,A improvement is to so house the yarns as to prevent one of them striking its neighbor, and by so doing break either or both down. I attain this object by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a front View of my invention, showin g its application to a ring-rail, which is delineated by dotted lines. Fig. 2 is a top or plan view ot' the same. Fig. 3 is anend view thereof, showingthering-Iailinfulllines. Fig. et is a vertical section of the device, takenin the line a' x, Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a detached view of one of the stands.

Similarletters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

Referring to the drawings, G represents the ring-rail of a spinning-frame, upon which, at

. suitable distances, are located stands A A, having pivoted loosely at their back ends arms a a. Fastened to and stretched between these arms a a are two parallel wires, B B. The arms a a, which carry the wires B B, are loosely pivoted at d d-in the stands A A. These arms have shoulders e e, which serve to limit the motion ofthe arms a a forward.

Now, as the distance between the rolls and thetraveler whichform guides for the yarn is the greatest when the ring-rail G reaches its lowest point, the yarn which has imparted to it a high centrifugal action flares the greatest While the ring-rail is down. The stands A A are so secured at a point on the ring-rail Gr that the arms c a carrying the wires B B, which are set angularly in said arms, may both assume such a position allowed t-hem by the shoulders e c as to receive this flare of the yarn,

'so breaking down. TheA gradual ascent of the ring-rail G tends to lessen the Hare of the yarn by shortening the distance between the travelerand the rolls. lIhe wires rising withitguard it, and as the bohbin is being wound the arms a c, having free action on the pivots d d, accommodate the bearing of the wires B B on the yarn until the bobbin is completed. The angle in which the wires B B are set in the arms a 'c is such that when the ring-rail reaches a certain point in its ascent the yarn comes in contact with but one wire only. rIhe effect of the action of these wires, by being so related to the yarn during the process of spinning, will be such that it will cause more yarn to be wound upon the bobbin by winding it much tighter, for when the yarn assumes a position during the descent and ascent of the rin g-rail where the flare in the operation of spinning takes place the wires then force the yarn to pass between them and the partially-wound bobbin, which will be, as stated, to wind it much tighter; and by not allowing one yarn to strike another it will not chafe and destroy the ber,` and will make no waste by breaking any threads.

While the traveler in itsu present capacity corresponds in weight to the number of yarn to be spun, to keep a tension on it, and to a certain extent to prevent it from tlaring too much during the operation of spinning, the invention herein set forth so houses the yarn as to require but one Weight of traveler to each number of yarn, thereby using a much lighter traveler. In preference, for practical purposes iine wire is used. This gives an elastic bearing to the yarn, and by using the two wires and securing them angularly, as stated, and

allowing the arms c a free action on the pivots d d, and construct-in g .and angularly pivoting the shoulders e e, as shown, the said wires preserve by their own weight against the yarn a suitable tension at all times during the con,

struction of the bobbin, which will be uniform,
